Copywriter: "How's business?" Pigeon 1: "I've been ghosting sales copy for Clayton Makepeace. Beats the hell out of doing that search engine stuff for Google." "In fact it was me who wrote the last winning control for Clayton. If you want a sales letter that pulls in the bucks you can't beat a pigeon." Pigeon 2 says: "Yeh. I've been writing Michael Fortin's copy now for 18 months. The sales copy for John Reese's million dollar launch of Traffic Secrets...I did that. Can't beat pigeon copy." Then the dog says: "That's nothing. I've been doing all the copywriting for Roberta Rosenberg here for 3 years. All those people reading her blog actually think she writes it herself but every last word is mine." The two pigeons turn to each other and pigeon 1 says: "Wow! A talking dog!"
